“Caroline does an amazing job with my dog, who is very sweet but also known to be strong, willful, and hyper. Couldn’t be happier”


“Will is amazing with our dog. Ravioli loves him and Will shares great pictures and updates.”


“Katie is dependable and a lifesaver for my little dog who loves his walks. I’ve referred her to my neighbor and I recommend hiring her for your dog.”


“Niah has been a wonderful part of Princeton Antonio’s daily routine, and he gets extra excited whenever she arrives! She’s energetic, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. One of the things I appreciate most is how she always sends me sweet photos of Princeton that I can share with my mother in Chicago (who, by the way, adores her St. Louis-based grand-dog). Rain or shine, Niah shows up every evening without fail. Her dependability and connection with Princeton have been incredibly helpful while I've been recovering from a broken ankle. She has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.”


“Tammy has done a wonderful job taking my dog for daily walks this week. She is easy to communicate with, knowledgable and comfortable with pet care, and reliable. I look forward to her continued help with dog walking.”


“Uğer could not be more kind and patient with my energetic young dogs. He has also been reliable and very communicative as a dog walker. You can really tell how much he loves dogs. I could not recommend him higher and will request his services any time I need care for my pups.”


About: If you're looking for someone to watch your pets while you're away, then look no further. I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them

“Morgan was great! She was super communicative and I will be using her again!”


“Jamie has been our constant for the last four months. He is reliable, communicates well and shows my babies sooo much love and kindness everyday. I could not be more comfortable and trusting of him and the genuine care he shows me and my pups every single day. Thank you Jamie, you are truly a blessing in our lives!”


“Lara is great - she handles my large dog with ease - he can be leash reactive and that requires expertise. And she is consistent and timely and reliable. What else could you ask for?”


About: I've had/taken care of dogs my whole life. My husband and I love dogs and have a big yard for them to run around in. We often dogsit for family and friends when they are out of town. We lost our fur baby a couple months ago due to old age and frankly we miss him and the energy he brought to our house. Your furbaby (or babies) would have a whole house to themselves and would have the full attention of a loving couple. We live in a great neighborhood for walks and have several parks nearby. Both my husband and I work full time jobs out of the house, but are never gone more than 8 hours at a time. Our routine with our recent furbaby would be walks and breakfast in the morning before work (around 8ish), a walk/play outside after work (around 4ish) and then a bathroom break outside before bed. On weekends we have more time to spend with your dog(s) We understand that every dog is special and has special needs! We are open to all care routines and any oddities your dog may have (we used to have to hide our trash can from our dog before leaving the house 😅). As long as you provide instructions, we feel confident managing any schedules, medical care, oddities, or routines. Your fur baby will be in a loving household that just misses having dogs around all the time.

About: I am a volunteer dog walker at a local shelter so I have lots of experience with walking and handling all sorts of dogs. I have a 14 year old Husky mix and 6 year old Alaskan Husky. The older guy has slowed down and needs some more tender loving care these days, so I definitely have some special needs/senior experience. The 6 year old girl is very active and gets around 4 miles of walks each day. Seeing the joy on their faces when asked if they want to go for a walk melts my heart. I don't have cats, but I TNR'd four feral cats in the neighborhood and feed and interact with them every morning. In the past, I've also cared for friends' cats when they went out of town - feeding, cleaning litter box, etc. I have a remote sales job which allows me to be very flexible. I volunteer every Friday morning from 8AM-11AM which is the only time I'm not available on a weekly basis. When walking my own dogs (and the shelter dogs for that matter), I'm very cognizant of broken glass on the sidewalks, discarded food and trash, and any other obstacles that tend to come up in the city. I know every dog is different and make sure to follow directions given when walking your pup.

“Makenzie is amazing! She takes TJ for long walks and is very responsive. I can tell he has a good time with her because he does not annoy me like crazy when I get home from work. Definitely recommend booking her!!”


“I can't even begin to count how many times I've relied on Alex's services for my dog, Bella. Not only does Bella always come back looking incredibly happy, but she also displays an unmatched level of excitement every time she catches sight of Alex stepping out of his car on our street. It's as if she knows she's about to embark on an extraordinary adventure with him!”

“Stephanie was great with Marvin! Always on time, cheerful, and very easy to schedule with. Communicative about any issues and helpful in caring for my pup like he was her own. Thank you Stephanie!”

“Jenn did such a great job with our sweet dog. She sent pictures and videos of their time together and handled everything in a very professional and kind manner. We will definitely book her again when needing someone to spend time with Ginger!”


“Jessica is amazing! Maggie absolutely loves her. She is so sweet and communicative and knows how to handle my anxious dog. She’s also very flexible and takes the best pictures to send me. We feel very lucky to have found Jessica!!”


“Exceptional care for our senior pup! Thank you Nancy for all that you did to make Tulla comfortable while we were away! You went above and beyond and we so appreciated it!”


About: I’m trying to save up money for vet school, and would love to give your pets the love and attention they deserve while at it! Growing up, I was the main caretaker and trainer for our two family dogs. As a teenager, I had a monopoly on neighborhood pet sitting. Now, I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own (part of why I’m eager to dote on yours). I’ve loved meeting so many new furry friends across St. Louis :) Ive also done volunteer work handling wild animals such as hawks, squirrels, and possums! I’m currently working part time, so I have a decent amount of availability with enough notice! My work schedule can be flexible as well, so I’m happy to work something out with you if we have conflicts 👍 I’m no stranger to cleaning up pet messes. If any accidents happen, I will be sure to leave the spot squeaky clean! I’ve also lived in the neighborhood for 3 years so I know the area well. I’m excited to take your pet on a fun and safe walk, or just give them a comforting lil visit at home.

About: I have had pets all of my life and have such a strong love for all animals. I have sitted for family and friends while they were away. I strive for detailed, communicative, and loving care. I have experience with aggressive dogs, medications, and of course cats! I am a full time daycare teacher but start work late enough for a visit in the morning. I also have an hour break everyday where I could come walk/check in on your pets! After five I can come anytime!! I will be sure to make sure I can accommodate any schedule issues there are! I keep a close eye on your pet just like I would my own. I will contact you if I have any concern or questions to make sure the best care for your pet is being provided.
